GeForce RTX 2070 vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5600, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a speed of 1500 MHz on this model. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
	Difference: 163840 (56%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 will be a little bit (more or less 15%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5600. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070		203040 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 27040 (15%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2070 is the winner, not by a very large margin though. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070		90240 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 2240 (3%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
